Get Ready for St. Patrick’s Day With This Fancy Clover Crown

Whether you call it St. Patrick’s Day or St. Paddy’s, there’s one thing we know for sure about March 17: It’s a great day for a party! If you’re like us, you’re thinking about getting a bubbling green cocktail and whipping up some magically delicious treats. And once you’re done with all the foodies, don’t forget to add a green touch to your outfit: like a themed mani or this cute crown we’ve just made ;)

Materials and Tools:

light green and dark green felt

floral wire

scissors

Sharpie

glue gun + glue sticks

Instructions:
1. Wrap the wire around your head twice, and leave extra for the hook. Cut and fold in half, creating a rounded shape.
2. Take the felt and draw a clover with your Sharpie. Then cut it.
3. Repeat using both the light felt and the dark one.
4. Grab a hot glue gun and glue some clovers in place.
5. Keep on adding clovers until you’re completely satisfied with the final result.

First, double measure the wire around your head, and leave an extra inch for the hook. Cut and fold in half, creating a rounded shape. Next, take the felt and draw a clover with your Sharpie. Cut it and repeat using both the light green felt and the dark one. At this point, use the glue gun to glue some clovers in place. Keep on adding clovers until you’re completely satisfied with the final result. Voilà, you’re ready to wear your crown.

We have a feeling you’ll be extra lucky this year!

by Erica in D.I.Y.I haven’t stopped thinking about Front‘s gold dipped glassware set ever since it circulated through the blogosphere last holiday season. So after recently spotting a tutorial on how to DIY gold dipped stemware, I was inspired to create my own version of these luxurious golden vessels. And of course, just in time for that New Year’s Eve party I’ll be hosting this year! You’ll need:non-toxic gold spray paint (I recommend Krylon)champagne flutes or wine glassespainters tapeplastic or ziplock bag
Rip off a 6 inch piece of tape. Center the tape over the base of the glassware, rubbing the bottom edge against the glass. Pull the sides up at a slight angle. As long as the bottom edge
is taped smoothly, it’s alright if the top edge of the tape ripples or folds.

Bring one side of the tape across the middle of the glass. Although the spray paint I used is non-
toxic, I tried to keep the outline far below the lip line.

When graphic designer and artist Joanna Bean Martin shared with us her technique for marbling the bottoms of glassware with nail polish, we couldn’t wait to try it ourselves. Who knew it would be such an easy way to add color and pattern to your next tablescape or party? Remember, the brighter and bolder colors you use, the more the glasses will radiate and glow. Have fun! You’ll need:flat bottomed glasswarevariety of colorful nail polishclear nail polisha disposable plastic containernail polish removerpainters tapetoothpicks Mask off the bottom of the glass with painters tape. Fill a disposable, plastic container with water. Open all the nail polish bottles and start dripping polish into the water, one color at a time. Layer the colors one on top of the other. Take a toothpick and pull out the polish to create a swirly pattern, starting from the center. Work quickly as the polish will start to harden and clump up over time.

by Erica in D.I.Y.A friend of mine DIYed her own candles, made from the peels of Satsuma oranges, for a recent dinner party. I was so excited by this simple yet clever idea, I had to share the tutorial on HonestlyWTF. My only regret is not discovering this sooner when Satsumas were at their absolute peak in December. Hopefully, you’ll still be able to snatch up a few at your local grocery store or farmer’s market and impress your guests at your next dinner party! You’ll need:Satsuma oranges with stems attachedolive or vegetable oila serrated knifea spoonmatches The stem side of the Satsuma will be the bottom and base of the candle. Lightly score a ring around the top 1/3 portion of the orange. Peel off the top.

Because Satsumas are known for their loosely attached peels, the orange should easily be removed. Gently separate the orange from of the peel with the help of a spoon. Slowly work the spoon
towards the bottom and pry the orange out from the sides, ma…
